Hey all,
Is the impulse from llApplyImpulse instantaneous, or is
it applied over some amount of (small) time?
Thanks,
Alphazero

In standard physics, an impulse is a force applied at an instant in time. Having not used llApplyImpulse, but going from what I've heard (and physics), I would say it's applied as an instant push.

Yes, its an instant apply.
For more detailed useage of the function you can look at the wiki examples section under 'flying pet.'

I get me the fizzix, but in at least one of the references the first argument is referred to as "force", so I wanted to check. My ICBMs and I thank you. |
